Punjab Civic Body Election Results 2026 Live Updates: AAP sweeps polls, Congress finishes a distant second

Punjab Civic Body Election Results 2026: AAP's work, Kejriwal's ideology helped party in Ramdas civic polls, says Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal on Friday credited the party’s strong performance in the Ramdas civic body polls to the Punjab government’s development work and the ideology of AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal.

Speaking to ANI on the civic body poll results, Dhaliwal alleged that opposition parties had come together against the AAP during the elections. "3 parties are working in alliance against us - ABC, which is Akali Dal, BJP and Congress. They levelled false allegations against us... But the work and development show, and the people have recognised the development done by Bhagwant Mann. The people of Ramadas preferred the ideology of Arvind Kejriwal," Dhaliwal said.

Meanwhile, SDM Charumita said results for all 11 booths in Ramdas had been declared. She said the Shiromani Akali Dal candidate managed to win only at booth number 8, while AAP candidates emerged victorious in the remaining booths.

"Results have been declared for the 11 booths of Ramadas, in which Akali Dal candidate won only on booth number 8, and AAP candidates won on the rest," Charumita told ANI.

Punjab Civic Body Election Results 2026: 'Punjab hold the real power', says AAP leader and party's Punjab in-charge Manish Sisodia

Reacting to the Punjab civic body poll results, AAP leader and party's Punjab in-charge Manish Sisodia says, “The people of Punjab hold the real power. They have once again shown their trust and respect for CM Bhagwant Mann and party chief Arvind Kejriwal, proving their support for our politics and governance. The public has clearly endorsed the work done during Chief Minister Mann’s four-year tenure. At the same time, voters have strongly rejected the ‘ED party’s’ style of politics, with 1,150 of their candidates losing their deposits. Let them continue with their agenda while Bhagwant Mann focuses on his work; the people of Punjab have once again showered him with immense support.”


On the BJP appointing a new state chief in Punjab, Sisodia says, “The BJP was celebrating its new appointment last night, but today, the voters of Barnala have left them disappointed. This sends a direct message to the organisation. They are no longer the BJP, but the ‘ED party.’ We should stop calling them the BJP because nothing of the original Bharatiya Janata Party remains. The public has sent a strong message to this ‘ED party’ that even in their new president’s own stronghold, there is no place for them. The people will decide the outcome in 2027, but our responsibility right now is to ensure that all our councillors and MLAs work together effectively to deliver excellent public service.”
